A new non-profit is being formed in Barrington, Strafford, Northwod and Nottingham to provide rides for senior and physically challenged neighbors who need transportation to medical appointments. The program is called Ready Rides.

The Northwood Congregational Church as agreed to “parent” Ready Rides as it gets off the ground. Ready Rides hopes to be independent within six months. Ready Rides is recruiting volunteer drivers who could offer a few hours now and then as well as riders in need of services. If you are interested as a driver, rider or financial supporter, please contact Pat Desrosiers at 603 244 8719 or go to the website at readyrides.org for registration forms.
